  • Really enjoy the no nonsense, straightforward delivery of information. All those other extreme hyperbolic click bait trash space channels should take note. Good to see the internet being used as intended for a change. Keep it up.
  • @59seank
    Thanks Elysia and the NSF team.
  • Based on what Tory Bruno said, it would have been safe to cycle the valve on the centaur, and that likely would've fixed the problem and they could have launched, but because of ULA's strict rule that you can't change the fueling state of the vehicle in any way with astronauts on board, even if it has an insignificant chance of causing any problems, they scrubbed the launch. He mentioned that "some other companies do that, but we just don't", because obviously SpaceX safely fuels the entire vehicle after astronauts are on board and it's fine. And that's a lot more of a "change in fueling state" than just cycling a valve.
  • I can't tell you how much I enjoy and look forward to your show. I really wish you had your own bling section in the NSF store. Classy space suits. hehe

    There’s no way we got a different set of space earrings for every week! That’s impossible!
  • @CliveBagley
    Quality reporting. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼`
  • @ale131296
    Yes, there's a typo on the date. It's a test for y'all to see if you notice, it's definitely not there as an error... ;)
  • @iamsocial4340
    The side by side of Archimedes and Rutherford is a great pic. Thanks for the recap.
  • @IJ_uk
    I really like these videos. Really well presented and lots packed into it. 👍
  • @swapshots4427
    Fairings on 1st stage. That'll be interesting. And innovative.
  • @erfquake1
    (Thanks Elysia!) Safety's all-important, and it's great to have higher margins for crewed spaceflight. And I acknowledge that cryogenic plumbing is damn tough to get just right. Just the same, we've been dealing with leaky & fluttery hydrogen valves for more than 50 years. Is it time for a new design approach?
  • @cryptoskillz
    Good job on keeping her, she's well spoken and charismatic
  • @timreed353
    At this time I don't know if I would buy into any Boeing explanation with their track record.
